Manassas Regional Airport says it is actively monitoring a forecasted snow event expected to impact the region this weekend. Airport officials say crews, contractors, and specialized equipment are ready to respond if winter weather affects operations, with a focus on reopening runways as quickly as possible after snowfall ends.

The airport operates under an FAA-approved Snow and Ice Control Plan that outlines priorities during winter weather events. Airport stakeholders are encouraged to monitor NOTAMs, the airport’s website, and official social media channels for the latest operational updates as the storm approaches.


Weather

A major winter storm is increasingly likely to impact the region from late Saturday through Sunday, bringing heavy snow, areas of sleet and freezing rain, and significant travel disruptions.

Forecast confidence is high that most areas will see substantial winter weather, with some locations facing a dangerous mix of snow and ice. Bitterly cold air will follow the storm, with near record-low temperatures and wind chills lasting into early next week.
